INTERNATIONAL AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSEUM

 
 
 
 

TYPE

Cultural Arts

LOCATION

Charleston, South Carolina

ABOUT THE PROJECT

IAAM aims to re-center South Carolina’s place in global history, illuminating its pivotal role in the development of the international slave trade and the Civil War.

The museum will connect visitors to their ancestors, demonstrating how enslaved Africans and free blacks shaped economic, political, and cultural development in the nation and beyond. Film, documents, and digital archives further aid visitors in placing the story of African arrival in historical context.

At the beginning phases of the project, Brownstone was selected for cost-estimating professional services for the construction document phase of the new 41,000-square-foot Museum at the corner of Concord Street and Inspection Street next to the Cooper River in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. Brownstone provided detailed elemental format cost control oversight during and through the construction documents phase of the project. Services also included value engineering and alternative studies.

Brownstone teamed with Turner Construction Company to provide construction management at-risk services. Brownstone is now independently managing the museum’s interior. The museum is preparing for a 2023 opening.

Brownstone could not be more proud to be part of such a monumental and historically significant project.
